No.1504 of 2016 This application is for condonation of delay of 17 days in filing the Letters Patent Appeal.

For the reasons mentioned in the Interlocutory application, we are satisfied that the appellants have shown sufficient cause to seek condonation of delay in filing the present Letters Patent Appeal.

Consequently, Interlocutory Application is allowed and

Patna High Court LPA No.363 of 2016 dt.19-04-2017 2/2 delay in filing the Letters Patent Appeal is condoned. Re.: L.P.A. No. 363 of 2016 In the matter of appointment of Anganbari Sevika, the statutory appellate authority and the learned writ court has recorded a concurrent finding to say that the petitioner is not a resident of the local area and her husband Shri Sanjeev Kumar is a government employee working in the State Secretariat at Patna. Even if the petitioner tried to refute the findings, we find that the statutory appellate authority after going into various aspects of the matter has recorded the aforesaid finding which has been approved by the learned writ court. The concurrent findings recorded by the learned writ court and by the appellate authority are based on due appreciation of the materials available on record. We find no perversity in the findings and, therefore, no interference is called for. Accordingly, the present Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed.
